Description
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), International Food Assistance Division, McGovern-Dole Branch announces this funding opportunity to support the McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program (McGovern-Dole) by issuing new awards. This funding opportunity is available to: Private Voluntary Organizations (see 7 CFR 1599.2) Cooperatives; Intergovernmental Organizations; Governments of developing countries and their agencies; and Other organizations. This funding opportunity is intended to improve food security, reduce the incidence of hunger, and improve literacy and primary education, particularly with respect to girls, through procurement of agricultural commodities, the provision of financial and technical assistance, and provision of maternal, infant, and child nutrition programs. All McGovern-Dole projects provide school feeding through a combination of U.S.-donated and locally and regionally procured commodities and address the two strategic program objectives 1) Improved Literacy of School-Aged Children, and 2) Increased Use of Health, Nutrition and Dietary Practices. McGovern-Dole projects also provide context-specific complementary activities that support these program objectives. USDA/FAS expects to enter into multiple new cooperative agreements under McGovern-Dole to make awards totaling no more than $240,000,000 subject to the availability of funding.
